Just installed matplotlib, it doesn't plot the basic plot.py:
from pylab import *
plot([1,2,3])
show()
Here's the results:
C:\Projects\Python>python simple-plot.py --verbose-helpful
$HOME=X:\
CONFIGDIR=X:\.matplotlib
matplotlib data path C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mpl-data
loaded rc file C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mpl-data\matplotlibrc
matplotlib version 0.98.3
verbose.level helpful
interactive is False
units is False
platform is win32
I also get a popup window with this text:
"This application has failed to start because MSVCP71.dll was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this problem."
As far as I can tell, this is a Visual C++ library from .NET 2003.
My laptop is running Windows 2008 (64-bit) with the .NET 3.0 framework.
I have already removed site-packages/matplotlib and reinstalled, with
the same results.
Let me know if I should be reporting anything else not listed on:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq.html
Thanks!
Adam

Can you search your system and see if you have that dll installed somewhere. Most likely you will. If you find it, go to the command prompt and change to the directory where the dll is. Then run this command:
Regsvr32 msvcp71.dll
(I don’t know if your 64-bit machine uses the command Regsvr64, so try that too)

What is surprising is that this is the library Python uses, so it must
be located at c:\pythonXXX. This path should be in the PATH variable.
So the system finds the library, but not python ??

Most likely you will. If you find it, go to the command prompt and change
to the directory where the dll is. Then run this command:
Regsvr32 msvcp71.dll
Thanks for the suggestion.
I didn't have msvcp71.dll on my system, so I went here to download it:
http://www.driverskit.com/dll/msvcp71.dll/2371.html
Once I placed it in the python directory, C:\Python25 (next to the
msvcr71.dll), it worked fine.
Perhaps the matplotlib installer for 64-bit Vista/Windows 2008 (if
there ever is one) should include this file (or check for it)?
Thanks again for the help!
